Privacy by default đ¶ïž
Dusk uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) so that:
Transaction details (amounts, sender, receiver) stay hidden
The network can still verify everything is valid
So:
âïž No double spending
âïž No fake transactions
â No public exposure of sensitive data
2. Smart contracts with privacy
Dusk supports private smart contracts, meaning:
Contract logic can run
Data inside the contract stays confidential
Only authorized parties can see specific info
This is huge for:
Tokenized stocks
Bonds
Private auctions
Regulated financial products
3. Proof-of-Stake consensus (SBAâ )
Dusk uses a special PoS system called Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBAâ )
What that means in practice:
Validators stake DUSK tokens
Randomized selection picks who produces blocks
Fast finality (blocks settle quickly)
Energy-efficient (no mining like Bitcoin)
4. Compliance-friendly (this is important)
Unlike many privacy chains, Dusk is built so institutions can:
Follow KYC / AML rules
Reveal data only when legally required
Keep everything else private
Think:
âPrivacy with a legal off-switchâ
5. DUSK token â what itâs used for
The DUSK token is used to:
Pay transaction fees
